Chapter 3.1, Problem 11SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The volume of a warehouse is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction : Any sample of matter takes up space, which is known as volume. The volume of cubic solid is obtained by the multiplication of length by width by height.

The formula of volume is given as,

  $\text{Volume}=l\times w\times h$

Answer to Problem 11SP

The volume of a warehouse is $1.3\times {10}^3{\text{m}}^3$ .

Explanation of Solution

The formula of volume is given as,

  $\text{Volume}=l\times w\times h$

The given length is $22.4\text{m}$ .

The given width is $11.3\text{m}$ .

The given height is $5.2\text{m}$ .

To calculate the volume, substitute the values in the above equation.

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Volume}=l\times w\times h\\ =\text{22}\text{.4}\text{m}\times \text{11}\text{.3}\text{m}\times \text{5}\text{.2}\text{m}\\ =1316.224{\text{m}}^3\\ =1.3\times {10}^3{\text{m}}^3\end{array}$
